Understand that alignment of family, school, and community spheres of influence
enhances student learning and that discontinuity in these spheres of influence
interferes with learning.
Leadership and Collaboration: The teacher demonstrates leadership by taking
responsibility for student learning and by collaborating with learners, families,
colleagues, other school professionals, and community members to ensure learner
growth and development, learning, and well-being. [InTASC Standard #10]
Candidates know, understand, and use the major concepts, principles, theories,
and research related to the nature and role of culture and cultural groups to
construct learning environments that support ESOL and bilingual students' cultural
identities, language and literacy development, and content area
achievement.[TESOL #2]
Candidates demonstrate knowledge of the history of ESL teaching. Candidates
keep current with new instructional techniques, research results, advances in the
ESL field, and public policy issues. Candidates use such information to reflect upon
and improve their instructional practices. Candidates provide support and
advocate for ESOL and bilingual students and their families and work
collaboratively to improve the learning environment. [TESOL #5]
